The video explains how to choose and use the Arrow® EZ-IO® needle for infants and children. It describes checking the patient's weight, anatomy, and tissue depth to pick the right needle length. The 5mm mark on the needle should be visible above the skin when touching the bone before drilling. Proper technique involves using antiseptic, aiming at a 90° angle, drilling gently, securing with dressing, and flushing with saline. It warns against using too short needles as it can cause complications like catheter dislodgement or infiltration.
